Can the ground body kit on the new IS250 F-Sports be purchased for a regular IS250, and if so, how involved is the install? And what past years can it be installed on?

Thanks

Yes. Check Sewell.

Minor PITA.

cool, so is the only thing body wise just the $1800 front bumper? or are there sides and rear?

Yea Sewell has front and rear, but I'd also like to know if the sides with the arch-vent can be bought for IS too.

If you have a 2006-2010 IS250 then you need to buy the FSport front bumper from Sewell ($1500 painted) that comes with bumper, all fog accessories, lower grille, and upper FSport grille.

If you have the 2011+ IS250 then you just have to buy the FSport lip add-on and install it

Huh? You mean the ISF fenders?

I assume your talking Fenders?

I think he is talking about the "ISF style" body kit....

Thats not an authentic lexus part, its an aftermarket kit sold by one of the vendors here and on ebay. Fenders aren't available.

Sewell sells the F-Sport bumper, but the ISF bumper (OEM) won't fit our IS250/IS350

Yeah @OP your title says ISF but your thread says FSport...they're 2 completely different things

Sewell sells ISF rear bumper conversion only (no front)

ISF front bumper conversion for 2IS is only aftermarket

Yea sorry I meant the fenders. Anyone replicating them?

No, the title says IS F-Sport not ISF. I didnt say ISF anywhere.

Here is the thing. My gf has wanted the IS250 for years and is finally in a position to buy one. She planned on buying used, but now that she has seen the new 2011-2012 F-Sport, she wont have anything else. So I told her, I bet you can buy the body parts for it and put it on an older IS250.

So that is what Im trying to accomplish. Say I buy an 08. I want to know that I have the option to make it look like a new 2011-12 F-Sport.

Actually, the lexus dealership told her the parts are around $1700 from them but she didnt find out what parts those were.

I was replying to Blui2...

But in your case, you would need the front bumper conversion, rear deck spoiler, tail lights, and headlights. Those are to me the main exterior visual differences. (And wheels I guess, but most people here go aftermarket anyways)

Side skirts are the same - rear bumper has an additional line through it but its not much of a difference.

Hope this helps!
